The Danish word smørrebrød loosely translates to “butter and bread” and is a classic sandwich in Denmark.  A thick slice of sour dough rye bread is spread with butter, topped with a protein (usually meat or fish), and then finished off with visually appealing accents like fresh herbs or caviar.

This beauty is the shrimp and egg smørrebrød at Cafe Oscar in Copenhagen.  I drool just looking at this picture, and it tasted even more amazing than it looks!
